Event ID: 4827
Event type: Webcast Event (for member-supporters)
Brief description: Yarney is one of the most important traditions of Buddhist monastic life, dating back to the time of the Buddha. Yar means ‘summer’ and ney means ‘to stay or abide’. The Buddha established Yarney as a period for the Sangha to remain in one place during the monsoon, avoiding the difficulties of travel and the harm that could come to insects and young crops. The practice was later incorporated into the Vinaya, the Buddhist monastic code. Today, Yarney provides monastics with a dedicated period for study, contemplation and meditation, as well as restoring vows, making prayers and deepening their spiritual practice.

Event details: The Venerable Khenchen Konchok Rangdol Rinpoche is a prominent figure in the Drikung Kagyu lineage, currently serving as the 3rd Khenchen (abbot) of the lineage—the first ever from Ladakh, India, to hold this esteemed position. He is the former President of Tserkarmo Monastery and former Principal of Kagyu College at Drikung Kagyu Jangchubling Monastery, Dehradun, the main seat of His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Drikung Kagyu Institute and is also the President of the Doon Buddhist Committee.

Brief description: These suttas (discourses) stress the practice of sati (mindfulness) for the purification of beings, and the overcoming of suffering, and for walking on the path of truth toward the realization of Nirvana. English and Chinese translation available.
[This event was originally webcast in December 2021 as Event ID 1835.]

Event details: The Satipatthana Sutta (The Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), and the subsequently created Mahasatipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), are two of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for contemporary vipassana meditational practice. The Pali texts of the Satipatthana Sutta and the Mahasatipatthana Sutta are largely similar in content; the main difference being a section about the Four Noble Truths (Catu Ariya Sacca) in the Observation of Phenomena (Dhammanupassana), which is greatly expanded in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta.

Teaching recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India. Donations made related to this event are strictly voluntary and any donations that are made will go to the Tibetan International Digital Library, a project supported by His Holiness.

Event details: The Four Noble Truths are: the truth of suffering (the unsatisfactory nature of cyclic existence), the truth of its origins (the causes of suffering), the truth of cessation (that there is a state free from suffering), and the truth of the path leading to such cessation.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
